Short term and Global Models are trending further east with the next short wave…..This means that Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Mountain will get more then just a few showers. CRFC has beefed up the QPF to about .8 for Huntington lake and about .7 for Yosemite.This means that over the crest…some 6 to 8 inches may fall with 4 to 6 at the main lodge and some 2 to 4 inches in town. This is just an estimate. However….we will be getting more snow then what was earlier forecasted. Coastal communities will get more as well, with an inch + possible in the coastal mountains Central Ca south into SO-Cal.

This may be the dreaded La Nina Split flow winter, making humble the weatherman who has had it so easy the past several years.

The next upstream system is a major storm but the models are splitting it as well. Best Snowfall forecasts will have to be made within 24 to 36 hours of the storm!

For you younger folks that do not know the tune….have your parents or Grand Parents in their 50s and 60s sing it to you.
